It’s Monday. The start of a new week. Time for new beginnings. If I had a penny for every time I said “I’ll start my diet on Monday,” I’d have more money than Richard Branson and Warren Buffet combined! Can you relate? I’ve heard this from a lot of emotional eaters. We’re always putting off the work that […]

You’ve gotta have heart All you really need is heart When the odds are sayin’ you’ll never win That’s when the grin should start You’ve gotta have hope Mustn’t sit around and mope Nothin’s half as bad as it may appear Wait’ll next year and hope… As a sports fan, I can really, really […]

Emotional eaters live with guilt and shame. They ask themselves questions such as, “Why can’t I stop eating? What’s wrong with me?

The answer to this question is, unfortunately, no. If you are an emotional eater living a life of what ifs and are worried, anxious, procrastinating and questioning your every move, you can’t live an authentic, fulfilled happy life. You can’t be your best self. You may think everything in your life is great – like […]

The countdown is on. 26 weeks have passed – 26 weeks to go in the year 2017. Don’t get me wrong, I am not rushing the summer. On the contrary, I intend to enjoy every minute. How do you enjoy the moments of your life? Are you aware of what you are doing and what’s […]

We all hear the commercials for a new prescription (or read about them in magazines) with a list of side effects: rashes, blood clots, heart problems and sometimes even death! Scary, right?!
